The Vodafone Warriors are determined to put a lean spell behind them when they tackle the bottom-placed Newcastle Knights in Saturday’s 22nd-round Intrust Super Premiership match at Mount Smart Stadium (3.00pm kick-off).

They took a run of four straight losses into their bye last weekend and now sit seventh on the table on 22 points, level with Wyong but ahead on points for and against.

The Vodafone Warriors are precariously poised, though, just a point clear of the ninth-placed Blacktown Workers Sea Eagles and two ahead of the North Sydney Bears in 10th place.

On the other hand, they’re still just four points behind the Mounites (second) and St George Illawarra (third) and only two back from three teams on 24 in Newtown, Canterbury-Bankstown and Wests Tigers.

The Vodafone Warriors are showing few changes from their last start against the Bulldogs as they set about securing their 10th win of the season.

In the early game at Mount Smart Stadium on Saturday, the Vodafone Junior Warriors take on competition-leading Newcastle (1.00pm).

The Vodafone Junior Warriors will be desperate to compete all the way against the Knights after suffering their heaviest defeat of the season in their away clash in round 15 in Cessnock.
